In the corner

Being physically or figuratively in the corner is possibly something we can all relate to. We might feel we have been manoeuvred or manipulated into being in the corner. Circumstances seem to have led to us being here as opposed to being centre stage.

In the corner the overriding sensations may be dissatisfaction and frustration. We feel we deserve more, yet somehow we find ourselves on the peripheral of the moment.

Instead of accepting our situation in the corner, on occasions challenging whoever or whatever has outwitted us to the point of us ending up in the corner is an option. Ideally, however, the stay in the corner will not be too long.

Nevertheless, in the corner we get to observe life from a perspective perhaps new to us. Taking learning from our experience on the sidelines is a way to maximize our time there. And, of course, it is feasible we look back on the episode with a smile on our face once no longer in the corner.
